Where else can you see classic Disney movies, new Marvel series, and all things Star Wars?! And, if you’re looking for something to stream this weekend, we know just the thing!
Towel animal plushes, rare Star Wars artwork worth thousands, Disney100 CARS…yeah, we’ve seen some interesting souvenirs in our time. Who could forget the giant crystal Cinderella Castle for sale in the Magic Kingdom? It’s a conversation piece, that’s for sure!
The cost? $250,000.
Yeah, at this point, we’re practically Disney souvenir EXPERTS, so we know a thing or two about oddball merchandise that people can’t stop buying. Where else can a bunch of adults walk around with mouse ears and lightsabers without anyone batting an eye? That’s why we love Disney!
Even amongst the bustling crowds in Disney World, you can find a little peace.
The crowds at Disney World can get crazy!
Inside each of the parks, quiet areas can present themselves– if you know where to look. Sometimes, benches will be open for a break, or less familiar attractions can provide some air conditioning. But if you’re looking for a more secluded spot to avoid the packed parks, even just for a little while, you might want to check out this hidden gem.

Back in August, we saw Disney’s stock prices drop lower than we’ve seen them in about nine years, and at the Q3 earnings call for fiscal 2023, we learned that Disney’s revenue wasn’t as high as many hoped.

The company already owns about two-thirds of Hulu, and Comcast owns the other third. Fast-forward to September, and Comcast and Disney signed an agreement to begin sale talks for Comcast’s stake in Hulu early, deciding to begin negotiations on September 30th, 2023. Well, as of November 1st, 2023, it seems the two companies reached an agreement.
